Today euthanasia (安乐死) generally refers to mercy killing， the voluntary (自愿) ending of the life of someone who is terminally illLike abortion，euthanasia has become a legal， medical，and moral issue over which opinion is divided Euthanasia can be either active or passiveActive euthanasia means that a physician or other medical personnel takes an action that will result in death， such as giving an overdose of deadly medicine Passive euthanasia means letting a patient die for lack of treatment，or stopping the treatment that has begunExamples of passive euthanasia include taking patients off a breathing machine or removing other life-support systemsStopping the food supply is also considered passive A good deal of the debate about mercy killing originates from the decision-making processWho decides whether a patient is to die? This issue has not been solved legally in the United StatesThe matter is left to state law, which usually allows the physician in charge to suggest the option of death to a patients relatives，especially if the patient is brain deadIn an attempt to make decisions about when their own lives should end, several terminally ill patients in the early 1990s used a controversial suicide device，developed by Dr. Jack Kevorkian, to end their lives. In parts of Europe, the decision-making process has become very flexibleEven in cases where the patients are not brain dead，patients have been put to death without their approval at the request of relatives or at the suggestion of physiciansMany cases of passive euthanasia involve old people or newborn infants. The principle justifying this practice is that such individuals have a “life not worthy of life”. In countries where passive euthanasia is not legal, the court systems have proved very tolerant in dealing with medical personnel who practice itIn Japan, for example, if physicians follow certain guidelines they may actively carry out mercy killings on hopelessly ill people. Courts have also been somewhat tolerant of friends or relatives who have assisted terminally ill patients to die 36A terminally ill patient is one who . Agets worse every day Bcan never get well again Cis very seriously ill in the end Dis too ill to want to live on 37The difference between active and passive euthanasia is whether . Athere is an action that speeds up the death of the patient Bthe breathing machine is taken off the patient Can overdose of deadly medicine is used Dthe patient is denied food supply 38According to the passage，who has/have the legal responsibility to decide on euthanasia? AThe national or state government 华杰 MBA-让梦飞翔！真正名师真正第一辉煌七年实力为证 BThe patients relatives CPhysicians in charge of the patient DThe answer varies from country to country 39The principle justifying passive euthanasia in Europe is that terminally ill patients are . Aliving a life without consciousness Bliving a life that can hardly be called life Ctoo old or too weak to live on Dtoo old or too young to approve of euthanasia 40The attitude of the writer toward euthanasia is . Anegative Bpositive Cobjective Dcasual Passage Two Next week, as millions of families gather for their Thanksgiving (感恩节) feasts，many other Americans will go withoutAccording to the United States Department of Agriculture，more than 12 million households lack enough food for everyone in their family at some time during the yearincluding holidays Hunger is surprisingly widespread in our countryone of the world s wealthiestyet the government estimates that we waste almost 100 billion pounds of food each year，more than one-quarter of our total supply Reducing this improper distribution of resources is a goal of Americas Second Harvest，the nations largest domestic hunger-relief organizationLast year，it distributed nearly 2 billion pounds of food to more than 23 million people in need America s Second Harvest is a network of 214 inter-connected food banks and other organizations that gather food from growers， processors， grocery stores and restaurants In turn， the network distributes food to some 50， 000 soup kitchens， homeless shelters and old peoples centers in every county of every state. A great deal of work is involved in distributing tons of food from thousands of donors (捐赠者) to hundreds of small, nonprofit organizationsUntil a few years ago，Americas Second Harvest lacked any effective way to manage their inventory Without accurate and timely information， soup kitchens were sometimes empty while food was left to spoil in loading places In 2000, Americas Second Harvest began to use a new inventory and financial-management systemCeresIt is software designed specifically for hunger-relief operationsIt is used by more than 100 Americas Second Harvest organizations to track food from donation to distribution Ceres has helped reduce the spoiling of food and improve distribution An evaluation found that the software streamlined food banks operations by 23 percent in the first year alone With more accurate and timely reports，Ceres saves time，flees staff members to focus on finding new donors，and promises more efficient use of donations. Hunger in America remains a troubling social problemTechnology alone cannot solve itBut in the hands of organizations such as Americas Second Harvest, it is a powerful tool that is helping to make a differenceand helping more Americans to join in the feast 41According to the passage，the total supply of food in America every year reaches . A12 million pounds Bmore than 12 million pounds Calmost 100 billion pounds Dabout 400 billion pounds 42By “this improper distribution of resources” in Paragraph 3，the writer means that many Americans lack enough food while . Atheir country is one of the richest in the world Bmuch food is left to spoil Cothers waste too much food Dothers consume too much food 华杰 MBA-让梦飞翔！真正名师真正第一辉煌七年实力为证 43A problem for Americas Second Harvest a few years ago was that Ait did not get enough food from donors Bit did not have a large enough network Cit did not have enough soup kitchens Dit did not have a good way to manage its food stock 44With Ceres，Americas Second Harvest is now able to Aenlarge its network Bprevent food from spoiling Cgive out food more efficiently Dsolve the hunger problem in the country 45The main idea of the passage is that . Atechnology can help in the fight against hunger BAmericas Second Harvest has found more donors CAmericas Second Harvest promotes the development of technology Dhunger is a problem even in the wealthiest country in the world Passage Three The differences in living standards around the world are vastIn 1993, the average American had an income of about $25,000In the same year，the average Mexican earned $7,000，and the average Nigerian earned $l,500Not surprisingly，this large variation in average income is reflected in various measures of the quality of lifeChanges in living standards over time are also largeIn the United States，incomes have historically grown about 2 percent per year (after adjusting for changes in the cost of living)At this rate，average income doubles every 35 yearsIn some countries，economic growth has been even more rapidIn Japan，for instance，average income has doubled in the past 20 years，and in South Korea it has doubled in the past 10 years What explains these large differences in living standards among countries and over time? The answer is surprisingly simpleAlmost all variation in living standards is attributable to differences in countries productivitythat is，the amount of goods and services produced from each hour of a workers timeIn nations where workers can produce a large quantity of goods and services per unit of time，most people enjoy a high standard of living；in nations where workers are less productive，most people must endure a more meager existenceSimilarly，the growth rate of a nation s productivity determines the growth rate of its average income The fundamental relationship between productivity and living standards is simple, but its implications are far-reaching If productivity is the primary determinant of living standards，other explanations must be of secondary importanceFor example，people might think that labor unions or minimum-wage laws contributed to the rise in living standards of American workers over the past centuryYet the real hero of American workers is their rising productivity The relationship between productivity and living standards also has great implications for public policyWhen thinking about how any policy will affect living standards，the key question is how it will affect our ability to produce goods and servicesTo improve living standards，policymakers need to raise productivity by ensuring that workers are well educated，have the tools needed to produce goods and services，and have access to the best available technology 46Which of the following countries has enjoyed the fastest economic growth in history?

Athe differences in average income among countries Bthe relationship between productivity and living standards Cthe causes of the rise in living standards Dthe importance of raising productivity Passage Four Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree could find a good career quite easily Companies toured the academic institutions， competing with each other to select graduates However， those days are gone，even in Hong Kong，and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs Most careers organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a suitable career： recognizing abilities，matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilitiesOne area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications，which would include special skills within their subject areaGraduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudesAn honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills，or skills acquired from work experience，should also be given careful thought The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the futureTo do this，graduates can study job and position information in newspapers， or they can visit a careers officewrite to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession After studying all the various options， they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career.
